NordLayer is preparing to
launch a new-generation enterprise browser. The upcoming NordLayer Enterprise
Browser, built on years of experience developing tools to combat cyber threats,
will feature a wide range of security capabilities to protect modern businesses
as their daily tasks shift to the web.
“Introducing an
enterprise browser is a natural progression for us. We’ve established a strong
foundation in securing business networks, empowering organizations to protect
and manage their traffic at the network level. Over the past two years, we’ve
already made strides in the browser security space with the launch of our
browser extension. As enterprises increasingly depend on web applications, it’s
clear that the browser has become a critical gateway – essential not just for
productivity but also as a frontline for security,” says Donatas Tamelis,
managing director at NordLayer. “With the introduction of a full-fledged
enterprise browser, CISOs and security teams will be able to control security
settings in the browser, manage network access and segmentation, and observe
users’ activity without interrupting them.”
Gartner predicts that by 2030,
enterprise browsers will be the go-to platform for productivity and security.
They’ll work across both managed and unmanaged devices, making hybrid work
smoother than ever.
The NordLayer
Enterprise Browser will help organizations to navigate and combat the
cybersecurity challenges emerging from current workplace trends, such as the
shift to a web-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) application environment.
According to research, 50% of employees
claim they can complete all of their work using a web browser, and 80% rely on
one for most tasks due to the growing transition to the web.
The switch from desktop
to web-based apps requires more safety measures in the browser itself. The
enterprise browser will provide defense against critical web-based threats,
including phishing attacks, malware infiltration, unauthorized data sharing, and
dangerous file transfer vulnerabilities. NordLayer’s solution will offer
centralized security control for CISOs and security teams. It will make setting
up and enforcing advanced security policies in the browser easier, safeguarding
sensitive business data. Additionally, the product will provide high-level
observability and quicker incident response, while the built-in security
features will ensure stronger threat prevention.
The enterprise browser
will also address the risks associated with the increasing adoption of the
bring your own device (BYOD) policy. Two-thirds of surveyed organizations
estimate that at least 50% of devices on their
network are unmanaged. The NordLayer Enterprise Browser will simplify network
security for organizations with unmanaged devices. It will eliminate the need
to deploy and maintain other endpoint software on personal hardware and lower
the expenses of containing unmanaged devices on an organization’s network. Consequently, the browser will refine
device oversight by allowing companies to transition from fully managed to
partially or unmanaged hardware, reducing device management costs in general.
The product will
further support BYOD equipment, ensuring employees can securely access the organization’s
resources through the browser alone without installing additional intrusive
security apps on personal devices, providing a user-friendly
experience.
Key capabilities to
expect from the NordLayer Enterprise Browser:
- Enhanced security measures and more
control. The solution will offer high-level observability and
full-scale response features – all in one package. - A combination of ZTNA and SWG for a
unified solution. The browser will merge years of NordLayer experience
and capability to combine zero trust network access (ZTNA) and secure web
gateway (SWG) features into one solution. - Data loss prevention (DLP). Controls for
copy-paste functionality as well as camera and microphone use and
prevention of unauthorized downloads and uploads will help protect
sensitive company information. - Centralized control. The enterprise
browser will allow CISOs and security teams to establish and enforce
advanced security policies for all users effortlessly. - Support for business growth. Designed to scale
with businesses, it will ensure security without disrupting workflows or
compromising employee productivity.
